Kaine’s pov.

The moon was high when I left the war room, but I hadn’t heard a single word spoken in the last half hour. A dream that didn’t feel like a dream at all.

She had whispered it like a secret meant for the stars: “I think I saw our child.”

A wolf like me, feared and hardened by bloodshed, should not be so easily undone. But the memory of her voice saying those words had shaken something loose in me. Something raw. Something I didn’t know I was still capable of feeling. Hope!

By the time I made it to our villa, the packhouse had quieted. Even the guards outside had gone still, sensing my mood and wisely choosing silence. Inside, the lighting was low. The scent of jasmine and wild pine hung in the air—Celine. She was curled up beneath the furs, her breathing soft and even, but I could tell she wasn’t truly asleep. Not with how tense her spine looked beneath the sheets. Not with how her energy shifted the moment I stepped through the doorway.

I peeled off my coat and stepped i

    Celine’s pov. Murmurs rippled like a crack in ice.“She could be lying,” I continued. “It’s what she does best. But until we know for sure, we have to assume the threat is real.”“What would they want now?” someone asked. “With Tess locked away?”“The same thing she wanted,” I said. “Chaos. Power. Revenge.”“She killed threatened the safety of our children,” another growled. “If there are more like her—”“We don’t know that yet,” I said, raising a hand. “But if they exist, we’ll be ready.”Kaine finally spoke then, “The security measures have already begun. We’ll be unpredictable in our patrols. The pack will stay inside warded zones after dusk. We will not be caught unprepared.”“And what about you?” one of the older matriarchs asked, eyes settling on me. “If there’s more coming… if this is only the beginning… what will you do, Celine?”I stood then, not out of drama, but necessity.“I’ll be ready too,” I said. “For whatever comes. For however it comes. You trusted me once before. T

    Kaine’s pov. Then she pulled away, sharp again.“She’s a threat,” she said. “Even chained. Even silent.”“I know.”“She can’t stay here forever.”“I know.”Celine’s voice dropped. “Do you think she meant it? That she has help?”I hesitated.Then… “If she does, they’ll show themselves. Sooner or later. They always do.”She didn’t argue.“We should prepare for an outside attack,” she said. “Reinforce the perimeter. Shift the guards to random patterns. Have Oscar go over the wards again.”I blinked. “You’ve already thought this through.”“I started the second she looked me in the eye and smiled like she was still winning.”I swallowed down the sick feeling rising in my throat.“She doesn’t win,” I said. “Not this time.”Celine nodded slowly, then walked toward the window. The moon spilled across her features, catching in her hair, her eyes.“I wasn’t afraid,” she said, almost too softly to hear. “Not of her. Not of what she’d say. I thought I would be.”“And you’re not?”“I’m angry,” sh

  • FATE’S RECKLESS GAMES : ENTANGLED with the Alpha king.    Chapter 98

    Celine’s pov. The steps down to the cellar were colder than I remembered. Stone groaned softly beneath my feet, as if it, too, had suffered long enough. Runes lit the path in dull blue glimmers, flickering each time I passed them, reacting to the hum of magic pulsing just beneath my skin.I wasn’t sure what I expected to find down here. I only knew I had to see her.Two guards flanked the heavy iron door. Both straightened as I approached, but neither spoke. They knew better. I nodded once, and one stepped aside to undo the layers of wards and locks. Silver clinked. Charms buzzed as they unraveled. The door swung open with a reluctant groan. The smell hit first—damp earth, blood, and something acrid like burnt herbs and rot.Tess sat in the center of the cell, bound by silver-dipped shackles and spells Kaine had approved himself. Her arms were chained behind her, her legs crossed awkwardly in front of her. Magic-suppressing cuffs bit into her wrists, and a ring of salt and ash encircl

    Kaine’s pov. The night settled over the forest like a heavy hand—thick, silent, and unmoving. The kind of quiet that came only after violence, like the world was holding its breath, waiting to see what we would do next.Tess was locked in the cellar beneath the east wing, the most fortified place we had. Runes lined the stone walls, glowing faintly with Celine’s magic. Two guards stood watch at all times, and I’d placed the most paranoid ward-maker I knew on backup rotations. I wasn’t taking chances. Not this time. Still, sleep refused to come.I stood at the balcony outside the war room, leaning against the stone railing, watching the torches burn below. The packhouse had quieted, but no one really rested. I could feel it in the air—the tension, the weight of what we’d done. The fact that we’d actually caught her didn’t feel real. Not yet.Footsteps approached behind me. I didn’t need to look to know who it was. Oscar moved like the ghost of a soldier—quiet, but deliberate, always c

    Kaine’s pov. We knew the moment she crossed the boundary. The trees trembled. Birds shrieked and took flight in erratic spirals. The ground beneath my boots buzzed like it had swallowed lightning. Tess was near.“North ridge,” Oscar muttered from beside me, crouched low to the mossy ground. His fingers touched a snapped twig—fresh. He looked up with a grim nod. “She’s just ahead.”The scent followed—iron, scorched herbs, decay. Unmistakable. It curled through the forest like a snake, invasive and wrong.My hand tightened on the hilt of my sword. “She wants us to find her.”Lia, one of our best trackers, shifted beside me. “Then let’s not disappoint her.”I gave the order silently. Ten of us in total—four wolves, six warriors. No Celine. I’d made that clear.She had insisted, of course. She was ready. Stronger than she’d ever been. But I wasn’t willing to risk her. Not for this. Tess was mine to catch. Mine to end.We moved quickly, silent as wind through the branches. The sun had beg

  • FATE’S RECKLESS GAMES : ENTANGLED with the Alpha king.    Chapter 95

    Celine’s pov. The villa was quiet.Too quiet, the kind of hush that clings to you when grief has passed through like a storm. I stood by the open window of the east-facing balcony, hands wrapped around a steaming mug of tea I hadn’t taken a sip from. Morning sunlight spilled across the tiles in golden sheets, but the warmth never reached my skin. The world was still spinning—birds singing, leaves rustling, people laughing faintly somewhere below—but mine had stopped. Or maybe it had simply shifted.And yet, something in me was…different. Clearer and sharper Not in the sharpness of pain, though the ache hadn’t left me. But in the sense that I could suddenly see things as they truly were. Like I had finally stepped into the light after years in a mist I didn’t even know surrounded me.I turned away from the balcony and stepped back into the room. My tea had long since gone cold, but I brought it with me anyway, cradling it in my hands like a tether to the world I still wanted to belon
